Single vineyard designation occurring several times in Germany:
The south to east-facing vineyards with slopes of 10 to 45% cover 109 hectares of vines. Due to their size, the soils are inhomogeneous. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated on the shallow to moderately deep, weathered slate soils with partly clayey sand on gravel at the foot of the slope. The Berweiler-Merges, Carl Loewen, Kanzlerhof, Lorenz Nikolaus and Reh Winfried wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
